BOO. So term has officially started and so far it's been a whole lotta fun. My housemates are excellent, apart from the 4 people on the top floor who we don't see much of. My college has like the best college spirit, I swear. People say St Lawrence Court is like the "ghetto of Halifax College" but we don't really mind. Fine, the room's bloody old and depressing, but it's pretty much okay, really.
So far in the first four days since I've moved in, we've had the neighbouring House O turn their kitchen into a rave complete with strobe lights, House G has set off the fire alarm at 10am in the morning (causing me to jab my eye with my eyeshadow brush), I've sneaked into college events without a wristband, and had my name struck off the English department. Apparently, they heard that I wasn't coming to uni, and when I showed up in the office, the lady proclaimed very loudly "OH LOOK VANESSA'S HERE!!!!!!". Shit. So now they all know who I am. O_O Not only that, they've put my name like handwritten on the list on the noticeboard, so EVERYONE will know I'm the poor forgotten girl. It's a conspiracy, I swear.
Ahh and the campus is simply LOVELY. There's a humongous lake in the middle complete with ducks, swans and coots and god knows what other species there are. Apparently, if you kill a duck in the uni you get expelled and you're never allowed to study there again. I've got about a 10-15min walk to the main campus every morning but at least I've got company since Sam's taking the same course. OH and I have about errrm NINE hours of lessons per week only. Thursday's my busiest with 3 lectures, Wednesday's 2 lectures, and Monday and Tuesday - I'm free from 1015 onwards. Friday's FREEE. Sweet.
AHH I'm gonna put the photos separately in another post so watch this space :) Gonna go decorate my room now. It's a mess - as usual. CYA :D
